Even if you can't get him to an obedience class right away, puppy socialization doesn't have to be lost. You should be able to find some group classes in your area for puppies that focus more on socialization than anything. While commands are definitely extremely important, socialization shouldn't be skipped at this age either.
If you want to look into some solid puppy socialization, your local SPCA, your vet, or even a place like Petsmart should have some good recommendations and/or classes. |
